Apply & track with Apply EdgeLooking for a Mobile Engineer in Riyadh — Unpaid MVP BuildAnan Sky is a technology company based in Riyadh, operating for nearly 3 years in the Saudi market. We're building an MVP and looking for a mobile engineer in Riyadh to join us on it.I'll be upfront — this is an unpaid engagement. Here's why it's still worth reading.The work:
- Mobile app (React Native / Expo)
- Push notifications and alerting
- Dashboards and quick-lookup tools
- Offline-capable architectureWhat you actually get out of this:
- A portfolio piece most engineers can't buy. The sector this product is built for is one where mobile experience is almost nonexistent. An MVP in this space on your CV puts you in a different category from every other React Native developer in the market. This isn't another todo app or food delivery clone.
- A direct path to getting hired by people who don't normally look at your profile. Major contractors, government subcontractors, and enterprise firms recruit engineers who've built field-ready, offline-capable tools in high-stakes environments. After this project, that's your background. That kind of credibility usually takes years and the right employer to build — this gets you there in weeks.
- The product is aimed at real adoption. This isn't a student project or a proof of concept that sits on GitHub. It's being positioned for adoption at a scale that would look significant on anyone's resume. If it gets there, you're one of the people who built it.
- If the MVP goes well, paid work follows. The roadmap is real. Engineers who deliver on the MVP are first in line when the project scales. This is how a lot of the best roles start — someone takes a bet early and ends up owning something that grew.
- You own the entire mobile product. No existing codebase, no legacy debt, no tech lead telling you which library to use. You make the architecture calls, you choose the patterns, you ship it. That ownership is what interviewers and clients actually want to hear about.
- Vision 2030 ecosystem. The Kingdom is investing heavily in homegrown technology. Having a shipped product inside that ecosystem is a credential that opens doors — in Riyadh and across the Gulf.This is for you if:
- You're in Riyadh
- You have React Native or Expo experience
- You want something real on your CV, not another tutorial project
- You understand that the right unpaid work early can be worth more than a salary at the wrong companyDM me. Happy to talk through the details in person.
